Bought the 2023 MG Hector: Delivery, ownership & performance review
BHPian recalcitrant recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Hey folks, Had taken delivery for my Sharp Pro Starry Black CVT Hector on Wednesday, 25th of January. Here's my initial observations post (been meaning to write earlier, but have been so so occupied)Accessories, price & delivery experienceTook the delivery around 5 pm on a weekday (the day before Republic Day), and it was a pretty standard affair. There was another black Hector Plus that rolled out just before mine and the SA informed me that mine was the second delivery in Bengaluru (the delay attributable to the commissioner's approval coming in late for Karnataka) Many folks have asked on the forum regarding the on-road pricing, accessories list and mandatory asks from the dealers. So, here was my breakdown:Sharp Pro CVT Starry BlackEx-showroom: 20,77,800TCS: 20,778RTO tax: 4,17,008FASTag: 600Number plate + registration fee: 2,238Insurance (got from Acko - 1 yr own-damage + 3 yr third party, return to invoice, zero depreciation, engine + consumables cover, during repairs): 34,878Accessories (screen guard, steering cover, car cover, number plate holders, sun shades, mudflaps, manual book, ownership folder): 9,111Total (excluding PPF, silencer & undercarriage coating): 25,62,413 PPF (Garware 200microns self-healing TPU), silencer & undercarriage coating: 1,34,036Dimensions, looks and stanceComing from a sedan that I drove for 6 years before this (Hyundai Elantra 2016 2.0 Petrol AT), this was a marked change for me. I've never driven large SUV-ish vehicles for a sustained period and was apprehensive of potential blind spots. The first drive home cleared all those worries. The car is big, no doubt about it. It's almost as wide as a Fortuner and way longer than my old Elantra (which was itself a pain to handle in the weirdly designed basement parking in Bengaluru). But I not felt at home in Hector. Feels like the proportions are spot-on to provide a very fine balance of space on the inside (more on this later in the post) and manoeuvrability. It feels (almost) like I'm driving my wife's Jazz. No issues, whatsoever, except perhaps that the view from the IRVM was not very helpful (solved it later though, added a RedTiger dashcam that clamps to the IRVM and affixed its rear camera near the rear number plate light). Here's a photo with me against the side profile (I'm 5'9): Coming to the most hotly commented-on topic about the new Hector - the grille. Visit the car in person, and you'll know that it doesn't look out of place at all. It blends in quite well with the curve of the front end and doesn't look plodded on unnecessarily (this is true IMHO, especially on the black body colour) The car looks absolutely brilliant from the rear 3/4th. I feel this is probably the best angle for the new Hector (please excuse the random reflections. These were taken in a hurry at an under-lit highway pit-stop): Another side profile: Interiors and gadgetsI'm a sucker for screens (I have 5 televisions at home, much to my wife's annoyance). The infotainment screen on the Hector is high-res with very good brightness and clarity. Android Auto and Carplay both look amazing and are very helpful with this big real estate. The touch response is totally lag-free with Android Auto and Carplay (even with the MapmyIndia app), but lags a bit when handling settings / HVAC screens. Looks like the software implementation from MG is the culprit here and not the hardware. This gives me hope that this can be rectified in upcoming OTA updates (a man can dream). Nonetheless, it's not unusable/irritating. It's just something that will lessen your smile at times though) The materials used inside are top-class IMO. It all comes together rather well and lends the cabin a very plush look. The fit could've been better in a few places though (eg. fonts are inconsistent and a few hard plastics in a few places are not aligned 100% perfectly), but this is me trying to find flaws. Wouldn't have noticed them if I hadn't had a look at the question so what is not good? Seat ventilation works flawlessly and is not noisy either. The speakers are AMAZING! However, there is a big output quality difference b/w playing through Android Auto / Carplay and through the installed JioSaavn app. The loss of fidelity through Bluetooth is quite apparent (still very good though). But listen to a good punchy bass-heavy track through the Saavn app and you'll be blown away The seats are super comfortable, but the jury is still out since yet to spend 5+ hours in them at a stretch. What really annoys me though is the lack of memory seats. I and wife swapped front seats very often and given the height difference, adjusting from scratch every time is a big pain Here are a couple of pictures of the interiors: Performance, suspension & fuel efficiency.This is NOT a performance-oriented car. Please don't expect push-back-to-the-seat exhilarating acceleration. That's not going to happen. The acceleration is adequate. Sedate drivers will be at ease. Overtaking is easy, you get the power you need, nothing more. Tried Sport mode very briefly just to test out if there's a massive difference. There isn't. The throttle response improves slightly. But only slightly. Not sure if this will change over time (for the better?) - older Hector owners please chime in on this topic. Coming to the strengths of the car: the almost perfect balance between comfort & handling. At slow speeds, you'll almost glide over bad patches. Rumble strips? Where the rumble at? Body roll is there, owing to the tall stance and soft suspension setup, but isn't that bad. There might be more body roll while tight-cornering at 100+ speeds, but probably you should look elsewhere if that's what you want to do. This car is not meant for that. Overall, very happy with the suspension and handling prowess of the car. My other option, the Meridian is in a different league altogether though when it comes to suspension and handling. But that engine... why, Jeep? Anyhow, I digress. As of writing this post, I have clocked 328 km on the odo. Just came back from a 133km round trip on the Kolar highway. The onward driver was your truly (semi-sedate - was testing its legs, so did push it slightly, but not too much) Here's the iSmart screen for my driving (FE of 11km/l): That's all for now, folks. Taking the car to a Bengaluru-Goa trip the coming weekend. Should have more points to talk about when I return (praises hopefully) Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

K'taka CM faces dilemma over hiking liquor duties
While successive state governments have relied heavily on liquor sales to bolster revenue, a trend most evident during the pandemic years of 202021, chief minister Basavaraj Bommai will have little room to manoeuvre on the issue when he presents the state budget next week (Feb 17). Domain experts say liquor consumption has reached near saturation, and a duty hike in an election year could prove suicidal.

Car runs over 2 in Bengaluru: No action against MLA who let family misuse pass
Accident The car belonged to Ramu Suresh, an ex-forest department employee whose son is married to BJP MLA H Halappas daughter. An SUV ran over two people and injured four others at Nrupatunga Road in Bengaluru on Monday, February 6. The car belonged to Ramu Suresh, an ex-forest department employee whose son is married to BJP MLA H Halappas daughter. The car also had an officially signed and government pass for Vidhana Soudha which allows elected representatives to identify their vehicles and enter Vidhana Soudha. However, MLA Halappa has not yet been booked for allowing the misuse of his MLA pass. According to a report by The Indian Express, the MLA sticker found on the vehicle was removed soon after the accident. The accident took place near the court complex junction, when the car lost control and hit multiple vehicles. Mohan, the driver of the car reportedly told the police that he accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, resulting in the accident. The police arrested Mohan and medical tests concluded that he was not drunk driving. The two deceased were identified as Majeed Khan, 36, an automobile spare parts dealer and Ayyappa, 60, a parking lot manager. While Majeed Khan died on the spot, Ayyappa succumbed to injuries later at the hospital. Visuals recorded by commuters on the road show many people lying on the road, two of them covered in blood. The impact of the accident was so severe that the front and back side of the car was damaged. Read: Bengaluru: 2 killed after SUV linked to BJP MLA runs them over

Im lucky, main feeling is gratitude: Salman Rushdie on surviving attack in US
Assault The 75-year-old novelist was giving a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in New York where he is based on August 12 last year when a man stormed the stage and stabbed him several times. FLICKR /NODERIVS 2.0 GENERIC Salman Rushdie, the Mumbai-born author of Booker Prize-winning novel Midnight's Children, said on Monday,February 6,that he feels lucky to have survived the last year's brutal stabbing at a literary event in the US as he spoke for the first time about the colossal attack.The 75-year-old British American novelist was giving a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in New York where he is based on August 12 last year when a man stormed the stage and stabbed and punched him several times. In his first interview since the attack which has caused loss of vision in one eye, the author told The New Yorker' magazine that his main feeling was one of gratitude to those who showed their support and his family, including sons Zafar and Milan. I'm lucky. What I really want to say is that my main overwhelming feeling is gratitude, Rushdie told the magazine. I'm able to get up and walk around. When I say I'm fine, I mean, there are bits of my body that need constant check ups. It was a colossal attack, he said. Asked if he felt it had been a mistake to let his guard down in New York, years after the fatwa by Iran's former supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini called on Muslims to assassinate the author over the allegedly lasphemous novel The Satanic Verses, he replied: Well, I'm asking myself that question, and I don't know the answer to it. I did have more than 20 years of life. So, is that a mistake?\Also, I wrote a lot of books. The Satanic Verses' was my fifth published book my fourth published novel and this [ Victory City'] is my twenty-first. So, three-quarters of my life as a writer has happened since the fatwa. In a way, you can't regret your life, he added. The celebrated author told the magazine that he was very moved by the tributes that his near-death inspired and is determined to look forward. It's very nice that everybody was so moved by this, you know? I had never thought about how people would react if I was assassinated, or almost assassinated, he said.I've tried very hard over these years to avoid recrimination and bitterness. I just think it's not a good look. One of the ways I've dealt with this whole thing is to look forward and not backwards. What happens tomorrow is more important than what happened yesterday, he added. She kind of took over at a point when I was helpless, he said of his wife, poet and novelist Rachel Eliza Griffiths. His latest novel, Victory City, completed before the attack, traces back to a trip decades ago to Hampi, the site inKarnatakaof the ruins of the medieval Vijayanagara empire. The first kings of Vijayanagara announced, quite seriously, that they were descended from the moon... It's like saying, I've descended from the same family as Achilles.' Or Agamemnon. And so, I thought, well, if you could say that, I can say anything, the author said. Rushdie's attacker Hadi Matar is being held in the Chautauqua County Jail in the village of Mayville, charged with attempted murder in the second degree and facing a lengthy prison sentence.
